#6 of 15 2007 2.0S Brake Light Problem by dcr924

Nov 19, 2007 (5:19 pm)

The brake warning light on my 2007 Sentra 2.0S has been coming on intermittently - always while driving - goes out as soon as I brake. Car has approx 9500 miles, drives and brakes just fine. I took it to the Nissan dealer I bought it from and they said the brake fluid was fine and the brakes themselves were fine - no sign of a problem. They also told me that I should bring it in when the light is on so they can test to see what is wrong. Problem is, it goes off as soon as you brake, so I'm not sure how this will get tested. Anyone else run into this issue?

Has anyone experienced problems with their drums and discs warping? I have had a brake problem on my 2005 Sentra. Problem started at about 12,000Km (all 4), when Brakes are serviced, you don't notice the problem as much. Dealer says they warped due to heat need to be machined to fix the problem, I think it's a manufacturers defect and arguing that the dealer needs to replace under warranty which expires next year. I haven't come across any recalls . Anyone else experience this problem??

Somewhere I did read about a recall on the master cylinder. You might want to check into that.

There may be a leak at the seal in the master cylinder that allows fluid to enter the brake booster assembly.

Does anyone else have their rear brakes make a howling noise when they are in reverse while braking (ie: while reversing from a parking spot)?
  
It's really noticable like a ringing from a vibration or something like it. it can be quite loud inside the car. All stopping functions are fine. It's just noisy occasionally.

I have 2007 Sentra with now 50K miles. Took in for routine pad replacement at my mechanic of 15 years who's done many on other vehicles. He put on Wagner pads. Within 3 weeks, rotors warped. Took back, resurfaced rotors, replaced pads, 3 weeks later, rotors warped with louder noise than before. Took back, replaced everything including pins with all Nissan parts, resurfaced rotors. 1 week later, noisy rotors again, but not as loud as earlier, but then, it's only been 1 week. Mechanic didn't charge me for all the labour, only parts, but that has ran me 150$ extra. Now he saws rotors must be replaced for another chunk of change. I'm trading the car in. Never in my life have I had a car that had anything other than a few squeals with new brake pads. What's the deal?
